S- :ciiication of Letters Patent.

Patented A119. 1 8, 19114..

Application filed January 21, 1913. Serial No. 743,374.

Be it known that i, Finns l Smenir, ot the city otf Toronto. in theProvince of ()ntario, Canada, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in 'ilobacco-lipes, of which the ttl'illowing is aspecification.

lily object in the construction of this pipe is to insure to the smokera. cool dry smoke without increasing the cost of the pipe and withoutspoiling; its appearance.

1 attain my object by forming in the stem of the pipe two chambersseparated by an apertured diaphragm. The chambers communicaterespectively with the bore oi the pipe and its mouthpiece at pointsdistant from the walls of the chambers, so that each chamber may containa consideablc quantity oi. liquid which cannot [low back either throughthe mouthpiece or through the bowl. The outer walls of the chamber arepreferably formed by a metal t'crrulo which s a good conductm of heatand thus serves to cool the smoke.

The pipe is constructed in detail substantially as hereinafter morefully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which-Figure 1 is a longitudinal section at my improved pipe. Fig. 2 is anenlarged section of the diaphragm. Fig. 3 is a :front elevation of thesame. Fig. t is an enlarged section oi a modified torm oil diaphragm.Fig. i) is front elevation of the same and Fig. (3 a longitudinalsection of the ferrule.

in the drawings like numerals ot' retorence indicate corresponding partsin the dit- -t'ercnt figures ot the drawings.

My invention is equally applicable to pipes or cigar and ci'raretteholders and it "will be understood therefore that the exprl-ission pipeis to be taken to mean any device tor the smoking ol tohzu-co in anyterm.

In the drawings 1 is the stem of the pipe. The end. of this stem isreduced in diai'z'iotcr as shown to term the short tube 2. The adjacentend of the mouthpiece 3 is similarly turned down to form the short tubei. A ferrule, 5 is frictionally fitted on the adjacent ends of the stemand mouthpiece and is so proportioned that the ends of the tubes 2 and iare separated sufficiently to leave room for a central diaphragmdividing the space Within the ferrule into two chambers (3 and 7. Thediaphragm is preferably formed of two disks 8 having flanged edges whichgive them a bearing against the inner surt'atat oi the ferrule.Cloincident holes are termed in the disks forming an aperture S),preferably located near the upper side of the diaphragm. The aperturebeing out of line with the bore of the pipe it is impossible for anyparticles to be drawn straight across the chamber from the pipe stem tothe mouthpiece. The chamber 7 collects any saliva which may pass downfrom the mouth and the chamber (3 any juices or moisture from thetobacco. There is thus no opportunity attorded for moisture from themouth passing down the pipe and wetting the tobacco which I. find to beone of the most important causes oi? the fouling, ot' the pipe. Thesmoke also cooled and any particles therein entrapped by the saidchambers owing to the circuitous path the smoke is compelled to follow.This etlect is enhanced. by stamping in each disk 8 a project .ingdeflector '10 preferably contacting with the tubes 2 and t just abovethe openings therein. The smoke is thus prevented passion; in straightlines from the openings in the tube to the opening E) or from the latterto the opening in the tube l but is compelled to circulate in thechambers (1 and 7. The ctl'cct may be still further enhanced by spacingthe disks 8 to form between them a chamber 11 as shown in Figs. 4 and ithas been clearly shown that the pipe will safely entrap any foul juicesand solid particles which might be sucked up into the mouth and it willalso be seen that the pipe is scarcely, it' any, more expensive to makethan an ordinary pipe.

The tubes L. and i being integral wi h the stem and mouthpiece areformed on the lat ter when they are made at no increase of cost. Aferrule is comn'ionly employed on pipes so that the disks forming thedia phragm are the only parts iniolvinjr extra expense and these arevery cheaply stamped and placed in position. The chamber 11 may befitted with gauze to act as a smoke strainer and this gauze may bemedicated or perfumed if desired.

It will be seen that the ferrule 5 is easily removed and boiled orotherwise cleaned.

What I claim as my invention is 1. In a pipe the combination of the stemhaving an end of reduced diameter integral therewith forming a shortprojecting tube; a mouth-piece having a similar integral end of reduceddiameter forming a short tube;

a ferrule connecting the stem and mouth piece so proportioned that theends of the said short tubes are separated; and an apertured diaphragmdividing the space Within said ferrule into tivo chambers said diaphragmadjacent the aperture therein being stamped to form a deflectorprojecting into one of the chambers across the direct path of smoketraveling across said chamber to or from an axial passage of the pipe.

In a pipe the combination of the stem having an end of reduced diameterintegral therewith forming short projecting tube; a 1nouthpiece having asimilar integral end i of reduced diameter forming a short tube; l aferrule connecting the stem and mouthpiece so proportioned that the endsof the said short tubes are separated; and an apertured diaphragmdividing the space within said ferrule into two chambers, said diaphragm being formed of two disks pressed into place and having anintegral deflector formed thereon between the bore of the stem and theaperture in the diaphragm adapted to prevent smoke passing directly fromone to the other, substantially as shown and described.

Dated at Toronto this 16th day of Jan. 1913.
